Update...How I spent my weekend!!!

Hi girls

Sorry for the lack of posts on the blog last week but I do have a good excuse I promise. The beginning of last week was awful, I had the worst cold ever and barely got dressed until Wednesday so there was no way I was going to sit and paint my nails for a nail varnish of the week. My nails were just a chipped mess and you wouldn't have wanted to see that. Secondly I went away with my boyfriend for the weekend to Cornwall which was lovely and we had a great time but we were camping so I couldn't take my laptop to blog whilst I was there, plus it was nice just to spend time together walking round the small fishing villages and eating lots of scones. To make up for last week there will be lots of posts this week starting with a NVOTW which will be up straight after this. I am sooooo excited about this weeks colour as it is just BEAUTIFUL!  As well as a NVOTW I will also have a lot of holiday related videos this week as I go away a week today which is the 22nd August for 2 weeks so again there will be no posts during that time but plenty when I get back. Before I go I will be doing a What's in my holiday make-up bag? post and a Whats in my toiletry bag? post but if there are any other holiday related posts you would like just let me know and hopefully I'll be able to fit them in.
Now just because I have been such a bad blogger recently I will give you all a sneak peak of how I spent my weekend. Leave a comment below of how you spent your weekend!

Have a great day girls

And the point is...

Sometimes I sit down to write a post and I don't really have anything to write about but I just want to keep in touch so today I thought I would just show you some photo's of my hair and make up from Saturday night. Enjoy!

How I store my make-up...

When it comes to organising my make-up I really struggle to find a way of making sure the things I use everyday are easy to get to. I currently have a make-up bag that has my everyday make-up in and then a draw full of other make-up that I don't use as often. The only problem with this is that I forget to use the make-up I have in the draw as it is hidden away. I don't have a lot of space in my room so I need to find something that stores everything but isn't too big and bulky. Anyway here's what I currently have...

Uh-oh it happened again...

I don't know how it happens, it just does. I go out with my boyfriend just to window shop and somehow I come home with bags full of exciting treasures. I know I don't really need the things I buy its just soo hard to walk past the make-up section of boots without picking up just a few bits. I did only go to repurchase some products that I currently have and  were running out but I may have added a couple of other bits in to my basket as well :) Lets just keep it between us shall we? Okay I'll show you what I got...

The first thing was what I actually went into boots for which is the Natural Collection Suntint Bronzing Powder in the colour 'Sun Shine'. This is my second one of these and I love it, its one of my favourite bronzer's. It has a slight shimmer to it but nothing to over the top and its just a lovely natural colour.

The second thing I purchased was also from Natural Collection but they were on offer for 3 for £5 so of course I had to get a couple more things to go with the bronzer. I got the blush in 'Pink Cloud', my favourite blush is also by Natural collection and it is the 'Peach Melba' which is a bit more subtle and darker but I thought I would get the complete opposite and get 'Pink Cloud' which is a bright bubblegum pink colour. I love it!!!

To make up my 3 for £5 I also got a lipstick from the collection, I tend to play it pretty safe when it comes to lipsticks and stick to the pinky nudes and this doesn't disappoint. I brought 'Sand Castle' from the Sheer Natural collection. Its nothing special but for less that £2 what do you expect, and as it is from the Sheer collection it was never going to be really pigmented so I guess I can't complain.

The final make-up item I purchased was a bit of luck really and has been the highlight of my whole weekend! I haven't told you this before but my favourite eyeshadow quad is Rimmel's Colour Rush Eye Quad in '002 Smokey Brun'. They have recently changed the packaging for this and made it look all shiny and new but I have the old one and its exactly the same product, the Rimmel Quad Eye Shadows currently sell for £6.63 in boots. Now whilst I was shopping on Saturday by boyfriend wanted to run into the B&M home store to get a drink so whilst he was doing that I had a wander around and I almost did a little dance in front of the whole shop when I happened to walk past a display of make-up and my favourite eye shadow ever was just sitting there all on its own waiting for me to pick it up. That's not even the best bit, I then looked at the price tag expecting to see at least £5 on it but no it said £1.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it??? I couldn't! So I snapped it up and had a hunt around to see if I could find anymore so I could stock up but nope it was the only one. My boyfriend wasn't nearly as excited as I was but I'm hoping you will be and I urge all of you if you have a B&M home store near you to just pop in and see if they have any bargains in there, you might be lucky. I will do a whole new post on why I love this quad so much but for now just enjoy the pictures :)

Have a great day girls

Nail Varnish of the Week

Its time for another NVOTW and I am really getting in to these now, I love my Monday morning manicure that I give myself before I take these photos. I'd also like to apologise for the lack of posts last week, I was really busy and had places to be and people to see but I promise this week will be a post-fest for you all. I have another apology as once again I do not have a photo of how my nails looked at the end of the week, this is because I went out on Friday night and the orange nail varnish didn't really go with my dress so I had to change it to just a nude colour which was a bit boring but I can tell you the GOSH 'Peachy' was still going strong with only a couple of chips in it by Friday so I'm impressed.

Now for this week I have done a complete change again and gone for a bright blue. This is '198 Azure' from the I <3 Lasting Finish range at Rimmel. This colour is sooo gorgeous I just hope the pictures do it justice, it has a green hint to it in certain lights and I don't know why but it makes me think of mermaids tails!

I love this and I hope you do too. Comment below and let me know what you NVOTW is!

My Favourite...Eye Shadow

I spoke in a previous blog about my favourite eyeshadow but I didn't go into too much detail so I thought I would do a whole post on why it is my favourite. The eyeshadow in question is Rimmel's Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in '002 Smokey Brun'. I wear this nearly everyday and its just so easy to create a brown smokey eye look that I can switch from day to night just by adding more of the dark brown and some gel eye liner.

As the name suggests there are four colours in the quad. The lightest is a pearly cream colour that I like to use as a highlight for my brow bone and I also add a little bit in the inside corner of my eye.

The next colour is more of a taupe champagne colour which is my favourite, I can use it all over my lid for just a hint of colour during the day or as a base for the darker colours at night.

The third colour is a coppery colour which I tend to put on the outer corners during the day to give a bit more depth to the look but again I layer the colours at night to create that smokey look I love for a night out.

The final colour is a dark chocolaty brown which I use in the crease line and also under my lower lashes to make the smokey look even more dramatic.

Have a great day girls
